QuickBasic had an immediate mode. The online help was fantastic (F1 any keyword and a up pop cross-linked discussions and examples), and you could stop/resume a program anywhere without changing the source (including on errors), and a host of other goodies.

Not exactly Genera- or Smalltalk-quality, mind, but something most languages implementations nowadays are nowhere near doing. A pity.
